Alley Pond Pioneers 2025

Budding scientists ages 9-11 will love exploring nature and science at APEC!  Each weekly program will focus on a different topic and have live animal guests, hands-on activities, and outdoor time. Children should dress for a daily nature walk and bring a labeled REUSABLE water bottle and nut-free snack. Participants should have sunscreen and bug repellant applied prior to entering the Center.  Limited to 12 participants.

Week 3             July 21 – July 25             Animal Science: There are lots of wacky animals in the animal kingdom. In this class, we will learn why a whale isn’t a fish and why a frog isn’t a reptile. We will look at bones, x-rays, pelts, and footprints as we learn all about animal classification. Space is limited.
